Brake Booster for V-brakes

[rifraf]

Might have the terminology wrong.
I'm after a U shaped product designed to minimise flex in fork and seat-stays.
I typed in Brake Booster in Wiggle with no hits so I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
My skinny frame tubes on my Moulton suffer quite a bit of flex under braking and I thought I'd get around to doing something about it after all these years.
I got inspired to delve a little deeper after seeing some Magura HS33's in action.
With a separable bike, I don't want the hassle of hydraulics but a large "booster" allowing for mudguards would be nice.
Anyone seen any recently?

Try Googling "v brake booster".

c r c have this one.... made out of thermoplastic

For a bit better quality (alloy) bike24 have a Magura brake booster.

They've gone off the boil a bit for MTB uses these days as everyone uses disc brakes.

Due to the quality (or lack there of) of hits I thought I'd ask here in case there was other names for them

I just this minute spotted c r c's thermoplastic version after following Ronks suggestion, but like yourself wasnt impressed with the quality.
I will indeed look at Ze German offerings - (Magura ) I was hoping for a decent brand name - thanks

I see theres a few Magura ones on ebay, I'll cross reference with kindly supplied link to Bike24 prices.
Cheers

Post up in MTB... If anyone else is like me they will have them lying around. I have a couple of XTR carbon ones downwtairs ( but don't have the fittings ) ... the XTR ones are great, weigh nothing and have heaps of clearance.

Boosters require special fittings

Just longer bolts and special spacers ( nothing you couldn't rig up yourself though easy enough ).
